When did you feel 2nd/3rd baby move?

Just want some reassurance. I'm currently 16 weeks (17 on Thursday) and I still can't feel my baby move. I know it's early but with my last pregnant I started feeling my son move really early (about 15 weeks). I know I shouldn't rely on Doppler but I can hear a good heartbeat and lots of movement when I use it, but I just can't feel it. Has anyone else felt babies move later on with subsequent pregnancies?

You've probably got an anterior placenta. You won't feel movements so early in this case.
Why are you using a Doppler?

It’s normal for it to take up to 24 weeks to feel movement. Even in consecutive pregnancies. It depends on position of baby and placenta. Really wouldn’t be using a Doppler though as they can give false reassurance. Even midwives in a lot of places won’t use them until later on
